The Car of My Dreams

This car was designed by Blake More, a dancer/writer/artist from the Los Angeles area. The car's name is Eartha Karr, a 1978 Mercedes 300CD running on Bio diesel.



I also thought that this car was interesting. A wrought-iron company owner, Joe Gomez of San Antonio, TX, built it. His reasoning behind it: "One day when I was in bed, I dreamt that I was building a wrought iron car. I woke up, ran to the kitchen and got some paper, and started sketching. My wife thought I was crazy . . . . Everything on this car is handmade, nothing is factory. It took me a little bit better than nine months. The reason I chose the Volkswagen is because the motor's in back -- otherwise I'd have all the fumes in front." The car brought more customers to Gomez's wrought-iron company than he could handle, and he soon retired.
